Solar Survival Gear: Solar Lighting

When there’s no light, you can’t see to do anything. More than just being bored because you can’t entertain yourself, without light, there can be a safety hazard from falling over stuff you can’t see. Plus, there are those who would use the night as cover to steal or commit crimes during a survival crisis situation.

Solar Light Bulb

Light up the dark with the Solar Light Bulb. This bulb offers 4 different modes. You can use the light to have low light all the way up to the Highlight mode, which gives off the most light. It does have a sensor, so you can have the light come on automatically when it gets dark out while staying off during daylight hours.

You can use the remote setting to determine the off and on hours if you choose to. Once the bulb is charged, the number of hours it will provide light will vary, depending on the mode that you put it in. The dimmer the light, the longer the charge to give you the light you need. You can get almost a full day of light on the lowest setting. It has a micro USB port as well as an indicator showing you when the charge is ready. The hook on the top of the light makes it easy to hang anywhere.
